About this Recipe Makeover

Restaurant smoothies are large sized and are frequently made with ice cream, sherbet or frozen yogurt making them more like milk shakes than fruit smoothies.

This made-over smoothie replaces the high-calorie, high-fat ice cream and milk with low-fat (unfrozen) yogurt. Replacing sweetened pineapple with fresh or unsweetened canned pineapple lowers the calories and total sugars, making this a healthier smoothie.

Note: Although restaurant smoothies are generally very large, for comparison purposes, this traditional smoothie recipe is shown in four 1-cup serving sizes versus the traditional two 2-cup serving sizes.
